When you have a sick fish, there are three ways to treat it.  From the outside (topically), from the inside, and by treating the water.  A single treatment may work, but a combination of two or more of these treatments would be the fastest way to cure the problem.
Treat From the Outside
DeBride Medicated Ointment

This ointment can successfully heal ulcers, if they are caught early enough.  If the ulcer is too far advanced, the only possible treatment may be Baytril injections, and once your fish has an advanced ulcer, it is questionable if even Baytril will cure it.  If you're squeamish about injecting a koi, find a vet who will.  The best defense is a good offense, so it is best to keep a tube of this in stock so it is readily available when you need it.

         
12 grams                                         $24.95 + shipping
DeBride RX Medicated Food

Sick fish tend to hang near the bottom of the pond or quarantine tank, so this sinking food is more likely to entice them to eat.  Sick fish should be quarantined so other fish are less likely to succumb to the same disease, and so that the healthy fish don't eat up all the medicated food!  By over-medicating your fish, the parasites CAN build up an immunity to the treatment, so it is best to only treat the fish that are sick.  As with all food products, freshness is of utmost importance, I do not recommend ordering this food unless you need it.  I can get it in a couple of days, and your fish won't mind the delay.

Treat From the Inside
KoiZyme (Formerly known as "LymnoZyme")

KoiZyme is a biological formula of naturally occuring bacteria, enzymes and micro nutrients.  When KoiZyme is introduced into pond water that is infected with pathogens, the KoiZyme competes with these pathogens for the nutrients in the pond water.  The KoiZyme will consume these nutrients and thus starve out the pathogens, which will then be reduced to such a low level that they will not have an effect on our fish.  For more information on this product and how it works, please see www.koizyme.com.   It is recommended that this product be used as a part of regular pond maintenance for best results.

Treat the Water
Other medications I hope you never need:

I carry a number of medications in stock that are somewhat difficult to find, like Potassium Permanganite, Malachite Green Crystals, Pond Formalin and the like.  If you need one of these, please contact me and we will discuss symptoms, prognosis, treatment, dosage rates and mortality rates.  This is dangerous stuff and should only be handled by someone who is aware of the risks and precautions associated with each.
